"Thereafter, another slight sense of anticlimax. Not that there’s anything wrong with the rest of the menu, just that – in a city that’s done quite well for Hispanic tapas-style dishes in recent times, and indeed for interesting and small plates generally – it was difficult to see that anything here really stands out, either by way of novelty or by way of of taste."

"In brief, I loved Zoilo. It’s a charming little Central London find. Small, bold plates, delivered with affection. I mean culinary affection, although actual handsy affection from the Argentinian waiters would not be unpleasant." READ REVIEW

"As a source of information on Argentinian cuisine, my mate is more forthcoming than staff at Zoilo. We don’t want hours of exposition, just a hand settling in but tonight they’re either enthusiastic but not attentive or busy and unbothered." READ REVIEW

"Here, melted provoleta (Argentina's version of Italy's provolone cheese) comes prettily presented in a dinky cast-iron pan, with wafts of oregano rising from the chewy, salty mass." READ REVIEW

"Zoilo, claimed one of the many jolly staff, means bad boy, but I can’t find any evidence to back this up." READ REVIEW

" The menu might be slightly baffling, but you’ll leave desperate to come back and try the rest of it. South America’s second-largest country has so much more to offer than steak, and the proof is finally in the pudding." READ REVIEW
